And instead: "Four more years! Four more years!"
No, when things turn to shit they'll pin everything on him, out him as either an atheist or even the anti-christ, tell them he did everything because it benefited himself and used his supreme power as the President to overrule or ignore their "true" path/purpose. In comes Pence to save the day.

Your question is a non sequitur because I stated that I'm in favor of the reg, and I was talking about something quite specific. How you went from a discussion of these facts to asking me if I think Trump's EPA head will be bad is quite odd.
What I was pointing out is the logical fallacy of saying that this specific reg being ore-canceled will lead to economic disaster. That's literally, demonstrably untrue. And it can simultaneously be a horrible idea from a policy perspective.
Yep, which is why some of the hyperbole here is so nuts, although I understand the spirit of it in light of other craziness happening.
Black & brown people, LGBTQ, Muslims, illegal immigrants, etc. will be blamed and guess what will happen to them

It's okay.
They'll just blame it on the entitled millennials and brown people.

I mean...
You're not fucking wrong.
And of course it will work.
It must be nice being so optimistic.
The Republican party is extremely good at keeping people voting against their own best interests and deflecting any fallout to the Dems.

I think it may be different especially if we open dialogue with them explain our position and let them know that its impossible to place blame on us. I mean they are going to have to realize that it can't be just a problem that entitled millennials and brown people created if we are speaking to them about it face to face.

His supporters were significantly against Wall Street, and all I'm hearing about is massive Wall Street deregulation.
People are starting to hear about Goldman Sachs folks are going to be in his administration and all, including a guy he lined up with Soros as evils.

I mean. Trump is the first atheist President. I believe he believes in none of religion.

Trump told people he enjoyed loopholes that benefited him. Did he ever promise not to help create more, and to work to shut down the loopholes that wealthy people use for profit?
A long time ago I remember seeing stories on Trump, how that although he went bankrupt many times (recently learned it was his companies), he was given chance after chance because he was valuable for other reason or something that I can't remember. Maybe that he would pay it back in other ways. I think this was before his Apprentice show went on air.
Maybe Trump owes a bank, or banks in general. We never got his tax returns, and never will. All of the people that are pretty much his sheep (Trump can do nothing to make me not vote for him. JimmyKimmel video, type of people) didn't care to demand he show it. They didn't care. Who knows what other surprises show up.
I doubt his supporters will even care, like others said, they will believe the GOP when the blame is shifted to minorities, Democrats, or solar panels stealing the sun.

Never underestimate conservatives' ability to link economic issues to race. Doubly so never underestimate people's willingness to buy into said narratives especially given the history of our country, the historical and repeated current use of southern strategy, and willingness to accept anything when one is desperate.

Shout outs to Trump supporters proving themselves to be the cowards they are. You deserve all the shit you get.

Strip mining returns to the Rust Belt, just not the kind they were hoping for
I really, really want to know what the proportion of people around the Great Lakes actually think he can help them is and how many know full well what they're doing and did it for attention

I'm in Texas around alot of Trump folks. I'm not afraid. I'm going to speak to them to make sure when this happens and it will. They know we have nothing to do with how hes ruining the country. If they don't want to hear it fine. We have to show that its not just them that are desperate for help. We all are.

I'm sure it's a good split of people thinking he's looking out for them - and some who just wanted to fuck everything up.
He's not even pretending - this is basically proof he trod on their backs to get what he wanted. As if anyone's surprised.
Sorry, the "BOTH SIDES" crap doesn't work anymore. Gonna have to let that go.

Never use a financial adviser. They're always going to put their interests first, the company they work for second, and you way down the list behind the pet goldfish they bought for their kid. I've self managed my retirement and brokerage accounts for a long time and will never switch from that.

actually much less than half because voter turnout:
"the US Elections Project estimates that 131.7 million Americans cast a ballot in 2016, out of 231 million eligible voters — a turnout rate of 56.9 percent. "
So at nearly 50-50 for Trump that would be roughly 65 million people, which is only 20% of the total population.
Also, considering a lot of registered democrats didn't show, there might be reason to suggest resentful 'Bernie bros' might actually be the real dummies. At least Reps showed up. Blame your party members, not the otherwise highly qualified -and willing to accept Bernie's input- candidate.

Some people are hands on learners. Telling them wont do much. Showing them will. With Trumps hands on the economy and it getting worse for low income folks they will certainly learn the hard way.
Some folks make hella mistakes before self realization kicks in. I know I have in life. Lord knows.
Huh.....
No you can your own distinctive reasons no one wants to vote for you. Fuck the other side and the reasons I didn't vote for her.
I even bitched about her VP choices or other problem all throughout the last year and the one before. She was a flawed candidate and despite how others have her own problems HRC unique ones were fucking kryptonite this year.

don't worry, "economic concern" Trump voters. The jobs are surely coming back.

I wonder when they'll realise he scammed them. Must be pretty soon at this rate.
A republican house and senate - they'll happily agree.

They already know this is going to be a short ride for them, they're going to push through as much shit as they can before they lose control again.

How long until the next great recession?
The last time ghee was an all republican congress and president was 2006 and 1928.
And there were financial crises in 2008 and 1929. So somewhere between 1 to 2 years.

As trustworthy as the polls
Lol. Yikes.
Did a quick Google search and that doesn't seem to be true. Source?
They have ways to live through it or benefit from it, no worries.
